Genital Rejuvenation

Genital Rejuvenation is generally performed when you are unhappy with the way your vagina or penis look or you are having some discomfort. The procedure is done primarily for aesthetic reasons as the condition can cause embarrassment and a loss of confidence and some women report discomfort during sexual intercourse.

Genital Rejuvenation is a very personal decision and you should have realistic goals and expectations before undergoing any surgical intervention. But if you are unhappy with the appearance of your genitals and it is causing you embarrassment and/or discomfort, Dr Vlad will examine you (with his nurse present) and evaluate how Genital Rejuvenation can achieve an improvement and meet your goals and expectations.

Genital Rejuvenation is typically a day procedure performed under general anaesthesia or twilight sedation and in some cases a hospital stay may be required.

Modern anaesthesia is safe and effective, but does have some risks. Ask Dr Vlad and your Anaesthetist for more information. You can be assured that Dr Vlad will engage the services of a qualified Anaesthetist who is a Fellow of the Royal Australian and NZ College of Anaesthetists (ANZCA) to perform your sedation and/or general anaesthesia.

Dr Vlad and/or anaesthetist will ask you about all the medications you are taking or have taken, and any allergies you may have. Please make sure you have an up-to-date list before the surgery.

The tissues generally heal quickly and scarring is minimal but as with all surgery there can be no guarantee for a perfect outcome. Dr Vlad will endeavour to minimise scarring and to keep your scars as inconspicuous as possible. Most of our previous patients are delighted with the aesthetic results of the procedure.

Depending upon your general health and the extent of the procedure, Genital Rejuvenation surgery is typically performed as day procedure or alternatively with an overnight hospital stay. Dr Vlad will only perform your Genital Rejuvenation surgery in safe, accredited operating facilities. You can read more here.

Recovery time will vary from patient to patient expect at least a week before you can return to normal activity. Strenuous exercise and sexual intercourse should be avoided for at least 4-6 weeks post-surgery.You will be given post-surgery instructions to follow and if you have any questions, please speak to Dr Vlad and/or his Practice Nurse.

Cost is always a consideration in elective surgery, but it should not be the only consideration. You have the right to be informed about the costs you can expect, before you have your surgery. This is called ‘informed financial consent’.

Costs associated with the procedure may include:

Dr Vlad’s surgical fee

Accredited hospital or surgical facility costs

Anaesthesia fees

Prescriptions for medication

Post-surgery garments

Medical tests

After your initial consultation with Dr Vlad, you will receive a written estimate of fees and an information pack to read before your second pre-surgery appointment. The second appointment is free of charge. The costs of Labioplasty are partially covered by Medicare and Private Health Funds. Once you book your surgery, you will also see our Practice Nurse who will take your pre-operative photos.
